One more gaga entry and then we’ll close the topic. I was questioned about why I like Lady Gaga. So, here are 2 exhibits that I found interesting. This first one is an interview from German TV that apparently was filmed in November of 2009. The video is 8 minutes, and it starts with a [...]

A year ago, I hadn’t heard of Lady Gaga. Well, maybe I had heard of her peripherally, but I had no idea who (or what) she was. Well today, you can’t avoid her. This past week was the big CES (consumer electronics show) in Vegas. This is one of, if not the largest trade show [...]

The character to the left is my new favorite literary heroine, Lisbeth Salander. Well, actually, the picture is of Swedish actress Noomi Rapace as the character Lisbeth Salander from the Swedish film Män som hatar kvinnor (“Men who hate women”) or as it was published in English ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo‘. I picked [...]

Well, after that nasty entry I wrote about Firefox 3.5, I thought I should post an update. I am now using FF 3.5.2 and my problems are gone. It appears that the problem might have been with my Usenet provider, although that doesn’t explain the issues with Customize Google plugin. Anyway, I installed the second [...]

I’ve been watching the HBO series “True Blood”. I have liked vampire stories/movies since I was a kid. My first exposure to the Dracula story happened in 1958 when I saw the Hammer Film version of Dracula starring Christopher Lee as the nasty count. I was hooked. Of course I had to read the Bram [...]

Remember Toto? This 80’s Pop/Rock group (they really were a lot more, but that’s another post) may have fallen out of favor in the US, but they have had continuing popularity in Europe. This acapella performance of the their song ‘Africa’ by a Slovenian chorus called Perpetuum Jazille is one of the most interesting musical [...]

There is a new movie that released this weekend, “Food, Inc”. The film details the unhealthy and potentially disastrous rise of manufactured food. Our grocery stores are filled with unhealthy choices. I recommend this movie.

This new film will premiere on YouTube tomorrow. Here is a link to the channel. And here is a preview:

Here is an interesting article I found on Ars Technica. According to this article by Matt Ford
“A new study utilizing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) looks at the brains of early risers and night owls and detects a physical basis for their differences“.
Aha!! I knew that there was a dfference between earlybirds and us normal [...]
